I'm sure this has been discussed before, but people do change their minds, plus I've not seen it spoken about in quite a while.

Of course this is only if someone is 100% guilty and there is concrete evidence that they have committed the crime in question.

I'm pretty mixed on this... In some ways I don't believe that people who commit totally gruesome crimes should get the easy way out as I believe death itself is peaceful, and that the person should have to live with their crimes for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand, I believe that if the death penalty did exist and someone killed a family member(s), I'd want them dead and I wouldn't feel at peace knowing that they were still alive, getting fed so many times a day, when there are kind people on the streets who don't eat at all.

I think most people think 'well, it depends on the case' and I totally understand that. I wouldn't want someone to get the death penalty for stealing a packet of gum from a newsagents, lol. I'm only talking about cases like mass murder, torture, terrorism etc etc...

I'd like to hear other opinions about this. I think the best way to open your mind is to have discussions with other people.

Poll coming...
